plantation, as you know" he said to an
Associated Press reporter, Gas the place
where we shall make the trial. The out
look is very promising, though l have
made and shall make no prOphesies as to
the results. The result of our. work with
cane in Kansas was far beyond expects-
tions, although we labored under many
difficulties. Experts who examined our
cane before being shipped said its yield
Won a be about eighty pounds per ton, yet
we got about $50 pounds. If our expert

we hope planters will be enabled to compete
with the beet sugar interests beyond

NAVAL POSSIBILITIES.
WASHINGTON, March 28.-The Navy
Department is still prosecuting inquiries
begun some time ago relative 10 the abil-
ity of the railways and canals of the cOun
try to transport boats and naval material
from the sea to the inland waters. 1t
mas been learned that the facilities of the
existing railroads are limited to
the ability to transport boats
of the Ieugth of ITO feet
while the Erie canal will permit the
passage from the Atlantic ocean Of tor
pedo bosts 100 feet in length. AS tor
pedo craft necessary fer the defense of
lake ports are not required to be as sea
worthy and as large as those intended for
the protection Of the seacOass, 1t is be-
lieved the existing facilities are ample.
The fact that these inquiries were begun
by the department more than year ago
is regarded by naval officers as g suffi-
Cleut answer TO any inference that might
be drawn 10 the effect they indicate
preparations for a struggle growing out
Of the fisheries dispute.
